International keyboard layouts

The current list of languages supported
by Lomak is given in Layout Table 1,
which opens in a separate window.

We refer to each language as a "layout" because
each language has its special characters and/or accent marks, and these are
allocated to buttons which are specific for that language.

Layout Table 1 shows
the
setup
option
codes
used
to select a given layout. You use these codes as described in the section Setting
the keyboard layout in the User
preferences page.

The standard layout is for the US keyboard, which is used in the USA and many
other countries. Lomak keyboards for the UK, French and Belgian
French markets can be supplied with preprinted layouts to suit those
markets. For other languages, we provide a set of international
characters stickers which can be used to identify the locations
of language-specific characters.- refer to the section International
key labels in the Training aids page.

A Lomak keyboard set to emulate a given
language can be used to create any character in that language,
just as though it was a native keyboard sold in that market.
The positions of all international characters are defined in the pdf key maps in the following
list. If you are using an international layout, we suggest that
you download and print a copy of the key map relevant to yout
layout.

If your language is not currently supported
in the Lomak firmware, we suggest that you try using the US-International
setting, as this is designed to create a wide range of international
characters.

Use of the US-International layout requires your computer to be set to accept
characters generated on the US International keyboard. Refer
to the relevant page from the section Selecting a keyboard in
your computer in the Contents page.
